Screw in the start of your savings

On average home lighting is accountable for around ten percent of a home’s electrical bill. Lighting in some homes can reach up to 20 percent of its monthly electrical bill. With light bulbs being one of the easiest thing to change and cheapest, this should be the first change to start saving on electrical bills. Most people still light their homes with traditional light bulbs called incandescent light bulbs. Reason for people using traditional light bulbs is that they have been around the longest and their the cheapest to perches.
Florescent bulbs have just started flooding the market making them a little more expensive for this reason. Also florescent light bulbs have more intricate parts to them which brings the cost of them up. On average florescent light bulbs last up to ten times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. The money saved on the life of these bulbs is just one of the benefits of using them, on average homes that switch to florescent lighting save up to 75 percent on the lighting portion of their bill.
Now I’m not recommending that everyone goes out and throws their light bulbs out and puts all florescent one in their place. As your light bulbs start to fail and need replacement this would be the proper time to switch to florescent bulbs. Most likely over a year you will have all your lights converted. So with a little upfront cost you can save money in the long run. Keep fallowing this post for more upcoming energy saving tips.
